#but i stand by them all

[brainicusrotticus]

more headcanons:

• vace tends to push people in certain directions by squaring up his shoulders and leaning very slightly into their space. most people don’t realize he’s doing it, but do subconsciously step back from him, and he keeps moving them from there

• solane did notice this from watching vace’s interactions with other people

• solane dgaf. he just lets vace keep trying until he’s awkwardly close

• (he’s a doctor. he’s used to people being awkwardly close to him)

• every time vace tries it on him (and he does keep trying), solane just smirks and calls him lassie

• no one knows when exactly they start dating?

• (not even them.)

• for a while, it’s honestly more of a queerplatonic relationship than anything

• their relationship generally is a different dynamic than most would expect with a “relationship”

• most often, they interact in a way that makes them seem like squad mates? they start to develop that kind of connection and understanding where they can help each other without talking, just vague gestures and subtle body language

• they aren’t lovey-dovey, they both have too many issues for that

• (eventually, they reach a point of being comfortable being physically affectionate with each other. and i’m talking like, hugs, or cuddling, or holding hands. other stuff takes a while longer)

• solane always tries to sit on vace’s left side. he has a tendency to lean into vace when they spend much time anywhere, and noticed pretty early on that he tenses if sol leans against anything but the metal arm.

• they also are completely unafraid to full on hip check each other, metaphorically. and literally.

• their love language is physical touch. but in a “physically bully each other” kind of way.

• sol has bodily tackled vace to the ground in the middle of the colony many times for being a bastard

• (vace did it to sol one time, and broke two of sol’s ribs. he hasn’t done it again, even though sol keeps calling him a coward because “it was only two ribs, it’s not like i need them all!”)

• they are both somewhat territorial, though

• sol actively encourages others to give vace a hard time when he deserves it

• but if he doesn’t actually deserve it? you’re fucked

• sol is better at tearing people down mentally. vace, physically.

• vace is generally more efficient and to the point about it. sol is fucking feral.

• he likes playing the long game. he likes making you think you’re going fucking crazy. he does absolutely unhinged shit. either very subtlely or very obviously, no in between.

• if he has to get physical? he gets some training from vace, but also has a concerning tendency to bite if anything gets close enough

• (distinctly, none of that follows him into doctor mode. no grudges or games when someone needs help.)

• vace also bites. or he did, once.

• after a while, sol felt comfortable enough to introduce vace to sym.

• vace trying to tag along when sol went outside the colony was a pressing factor, but he waited until both were comfortable and informed.

• sym tends to act a bit… naturally flirtatious.

• sol is used to it, that’s just how sym is. he’s an ancient ai being trying to learn how to interact like humans, cut him some slack.

• vace thinks sym is interested in sol

• (sym isn’t, actively. but he wouldn’t say no, if sol asked.)

• vace keeps edging closer and closer to sol over the course of the conversation. until he’s fully pressed up against sol’s left shoulder and back, glaring at sym.

• and then… well, he doesn’t even realize he’s about to do it?

• but he definitely just bit sol on the ear.

• not hard! not damaging in any way. just a… reminder. to the audience. of one.

• and then sol’s face slowly, slowly turns to look at vace. nothing else moves. just his head turning, in a creepy owl-like manner. and very, very quietly…

• “…did you just bite me?”

• that might be the most suddenly afraid of sol that vace has ever been

While you're here, Hanan and her family need your help!

Hanan and her husband have 3 young children, Lana (10), Abdul Karim (7), and Adam (2); since last year they've been displaced and without income.

Their house in Khan Younis was destroyed with them inside, as well as the clothing store which supported their family. Now, they live in a weak tent which fails to protect them from even the weather, surrounded by scarcity and disease on the coast of Ghazzah.

To help them evacuate and rebuild their lives, they are trying to raise $100,000 USD. So far, they've only raised $9,695; not even 1/10th of their goal.

Please help them however you can, whether it be by donating or sharing their campaign. Every contribution matters.

[inkskinned]

you said you were stuck in a time loop, which was fine. i feel like late-stage capitalism has us all in a time loop, ammiright? you came barging in at 5:33. in the morning. i hadn't even processed the idea of coffee.

but you had this look of utter panic in your eyes. terror like the ocean. you grabbed my cheeks. im in a time loop.

i don't know why in movies the first reaction is to deny it. when someone is panicking like that, it's not appropriate to ask them to calm down. it didn't matter if i believed it, what mattered was that you believed it so much that it was consuming you.

so here we are. i pour you some of the dark roast. "you look like utter and entire hell," i say.

you push your fingers into your eyes. "you always say that."

i try to think of something funny to say that i wouldn't have said on previous time loops, but jokes don't land without the proper timing (lol). "remind me to think -"

"-yeah, of a joke that only works in the future. and before you say anything, i know you're pissed i just stole your punchline." you bolt the coffee, which is wild. it's very hot. you don't seem to notice.

i blow on mine to cool it down. i both am very pissed at you and also i can't see you in this amount of panic without wanting to help. but i'm also not really sure what we are, not since i saw you kiss her like that, no offense. it just was like, kind of rude when you knew i liked you.

and besides. i'm just like, barely a person. i write omegaverse fanfiction. i love the concept of a time loop, but what the fuck am i gonna do? send an alpha in there? i open my mouth.

you point at me. "you're about to ask why me. and then say some disparaging shit about yourself. i'm just a nerd who plays dnd or something. that self-own is slightly different each time." you sigh. "i know you think you can't really help me. i don't know who can help me. i only came to you because you fucking believe me." you check your watch, sigh, and throw your head back. you cover your eyes with one hand. "i've come here on 26 separate revolutions," you say. "you have believed me every time. and yeah, i have no idea how you fit into this but i just -" you sigh again. "i just like fucking talking to someone about it."

"do you need more cof-" i start, but you're already holding the empty cup out. i frown at it. "you're not getting any more until you promise not to bolt this one like an animal."

you laugh a little and sit up, pushing your hair out of your face. "okay, that's new dialogue. but to be fair to you, i'm not usually this rude. i'm still pretty new at all of this." you check your watch again. another sigh. i guess you're cruising for a personal best in the Sigh Olympics.

i almost tell you im not an NPC but i've played enough video games to know i'm very much an NPC. i pour you another cup. "so what happens in the loop?"

"really bad explosion." you mutter into the mug. you put your elbows on the table (rude) and bury your face in your arms like an angsty teenager. one hand floats up while you talk, because evidently you literally can't talk without your hands. "i have to save the day and there's this bomb and i have no bomb training and it keeps moving, you know."

"do i die?"

you peek up from your arms. "yeah. bigtime. you keep trying to run or stay or do anything and you always super die."

"oh."

"to be fair, like, everyone dies in it though.... so you're in good company."

i hate that you make me laugh. i hate that being around you always feels tingly and strange, this electric tension between us. something that is evidently (given how you stuck your tongue down a stranger's throat literally 3 days ago) (well. 3 for me) super one-sided. i take a sip of my coffee and close my eyes.

i die today, i guess. a little spark of panic starts at the top of my hands and starts whipping up my wrists.

"shit," you say. you look at your watch and jump to your feet. "i have to go. if i can come back, i will. i am still trying to figure out when is best to do everything, you know? the order of stuff. maybe morning isn't good for us."

i look up at you and think about how you keep kissing me in the back of my car and in alleyways and in the dark. and i can never fucking get a read on you. and i also think about how incredibly panicked you look. how broken. how long have you been doing this? "i don't want to die," i say.

you glance downwards. "well, you're not really dead, you'll come back in the loop."

"but i will have died." my hands are shaking. i am trying really hard to stay calm.

you push your hands through your hair again. "i really have to go. i will have this discussion with the next version of you, though. it is like, something i am thinking about."

"but i don't get a next version," i say. i don't really have the language for this, because i haven't had 26 tries with you. i only have my memories: you, a week ago. drunk and telling me you loved me in my ear. you, kissing her anyway. you, months ago, throwing up on my birthday, whispering to me i ruin everything i touch, always, over and over. please don't ask. i can't ever fucking have that be you.

i run my finger along the rim of the mug. "i don't want to die in this one."

you seem baffled by this. "i get that but - time will reset, you'll be fine, you won't even remember we talked about this."

"but i know now." i stand up too. "i have to live the rest of this day knowing i could die. knowing i probably am going to."

"you could always die, to be fair."

i feel my hands get out of control. "earlier, you said i always say a different insult about myself. what if you're just going through different parallel universes and those are all just different - but real - versions of myself? what if you're not in a time loop, you're in a fucking universe loop?"

"if it helps, i've wondered this too. also, you're hot in all of them. if that helps."

i point at you. "no flirting. i'm trying to figure out if i die today."

"who's flirting?" you catch my wild hands and give me that long, perfect smile. like we're in this together. "i won't let ya die." you check your watch and sigh again. "well. maybe not this time."

i grit my teeth. you are so not making quips at me while i try to explain the existential dread i'm having. "does the time loop reset if i fucking kill you?"

"honestly i don't know how long it continues after i die, because i just wake up. it could be that the loop goes until the explosion for everyone, and we're all in the loop, or it could be that when i die, the loop restarts. when i die i wake up, is all."

i pull away from you and stalk into the kitchen and start doing all 3 of my dishes. "okay, first, you know i was joking. and secondly, this is exactly my point. you don't know if this is just a parallel universe. maybe in the ones where you died, the explosion happened and nobody reset and it's just you travelling." i have to stop and push my heel into my eyeball. "... how often have you died?"

i look at you. you look at me. you give me this very sad, halfway smile and a little what can ya do shrug. something in that action seems so old and weary that i want to burst into tears.

"i have to go," you say. "really. for real. there's this family of five i save from getting into a car crash. and i know it's like oh but we're all gonna die in the explosion anyway, what's the point. and..." you shrug again. "it matters to me, is all. at least i saved them for now. at least i saved anything."

you pad over to me and wrap me in a tight hug. you always seem so tall against me. i feel your cheek rest against the top of my head for a moment. for a second, it's just us, and the space is warm, and my heart is a little broken hare.

you leave me there, and i stand in my stupid badly lit kitchen with my stupid mugs. i think about you. i start texting my mom that she needs to get out of the city, but it feels pointless.

i don't know what to do. tomorrow is the same day for you. but i have to prepare to die in my today.

I think if I could be the kind stranger in someone’s memory, that’d be enough.
